OLE DB or ODBC error: [DataSource.Error] Something went wrong while executing the script: Unable to get property 'childNodes' of undefined or null reference.
Hi @Danish_Bhat ,
Sorry for that the information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me.
Please share more details to help us clarify your scenario, like:
1.What's your data source?
2. When does such error occur? When doing transformations in Power Query? When loading data? Or when refreshing data in Power BI Desktop or the Power BI service?

Hello,
1) The data source is online, share point. from share point we are filtering 'html' files.
2) After changing some queries or adding some steps for data extraction, when am applying the query editing after evaluation or during evaluation it is throwing the error.
3) Error reads "OLE DB or ODBC error: [DataSource.Error] Something went wrong while executing the script: Unable to get property 'childNodes' of undefined or null reference."
Thank you
